Read up on the healthcare reform, read up on the school, read the news, re-read my primary and secondary application, talked to current students and people who had already interviewed, and reviewed the school mission statement

What impressed you positively?

The school's &quot;home&quot;-like feel and the friendliness of the staff and professors

Augusta is not known for its cultural scene and some of the facilities seemed very old

Interview is very casual, so don't freak out too much. Relax and be yourself! ALSO, the interviews are not usually that long, my interviewer and I sort of hit it off and lost track of time, most are around 30 minutes long

Better communication in terms of residency paperwork
